ORIGINAL POSTER
Hello, I am here in Hua Hin, Thailand on visa exempt (30 days). Thinking I would like to stay until end of March. What are the options please. I heard I can go to immigratiom office, pay 1900 bt and get a month extension. Maybe do that a couple of times? Thanks in advance.

TLDR : Answer Summary
If you are in Hua Hin on a visa-exempt entry for 30 days, you can only extend your stay once for 30 days through the Immigration Office and the fee is 1900 baht. Currently, there is a temporary Covid-19 related extension available for an additional 60 days, but you must apply for the 30-day tourism extension first to be eligible for the Covid extension. Note that the Covid extension application must be submitted before January 25.

30days tourism extension is available only once per entry on a visa-exempt or tourist visa. That's it.

Currently, there is a 60days extension based on being unable to travel due to Covid, but the last day you can try to apply for it is 25 Jan. I believe you have to apply for a 30days tourism extension first to be able to apply for a Covid extension in Hua Hin anyway.

Testing positive for Covid may well get you an extension but the timing is difficult.😅

if a person tests positive for COVID-19, and they are at the end of their “admitted to” stamp, they can get a

/90 day extension of stay based unable to travel due to medical reasons. The length of time is at the discretion of the doctor.
